Sonam

Sonam is fully sponsored! Please use the buttons to make your sponsorship payment if you are a current sponsor.

Sonam is from the small village. She has high expectations of herself, and works hard in class and on her homework. She is a major reason her class has been so successful, as she is a natural leader.

Sonam is a force to be reckoned with. She has high expectations of herself, and works tremendously diligently in class and on homework, as well as being proactive to contribute to community responsibilities. She holds her peers to the same high standards, and her teacher suggests she is often the reason her grade accomplishes as much as they do.

A kind and firm leader, Sonam is regularly the one to encourage her classmates to focus, to gently draw in a less engaged participant, or to implore the group to work together as a whole, especially in middle school when collaborative projects would sometimes fracture into smaller gender-divided groups.

Outside of class, she enjoys and excels at dance and sports, lately exploring her talent for volleyball by proudly participating on the Jhamtse Gatsal girls’ team in the regional tournament. Sonam is engaged, curious, and warm, and consistently helps those around her be the best versions of themselves, too. Her future goals include medicine. She wants to help poor people and believes all people should have access to quality medical care.

Your US tax-deductible contribution of just $35 a month connects a child living in extreme poverty with loving care and a quality education. Sponsoring a child will profoundly change the future for your child and other children, and will change your own life as well. Our sponsorship program is at the heart and soul of Jhamtse Gatsal.

Our children arrive scared, neglected, abandoned, scrawny and subdued - with little hope for survival, let alone education. Many suffer from malnutrition and have run the risk of starvation. Access to clean water, reliable healthcare and preventative medicine in remote villages often means greater risk from even simple medical concerns. Your sponsorship will give these children a chance to heal. Your support provides:
